"House was beautifully maintained 1700’s house with modern amenities. Bathroom was recently renovated and modern. Bed was firm yet comfortable - I was told it was a brand new mattress and I was the first to sleep on it. Breakfast was delicious! Hosts super nice and were accommodating to guests schedules as to when to serve breakfast. Ask for the Blueberry Bramble - it was delicious, I need to recipe."
